Quick answer
Buy lowHigbee caught 25 passes for 281 yards in 2025, finishing TE37. He scored about 8% less than his touches said he should. After a rough middle year (TE63), TE37 looks like a reset worth tracking. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
